Riding a 17-game winning streak, the Blue Waves will wait for Friday’s outbracket game between the Redmen and Raiders to find out which team they will play in the opening round of the Class AA playoffs. The Blue Waves received a favorable seed in No. 3, which allows them to bypass No. 1 Sachem East until the county finals.

The Blue Waves have the opportunity to play two home games. The semifinals and finals would then switch to Farmingdale State College.

The Blue Waves beat East Islip twice in league play this season. They did not face Patchogue-Medford, a League I school.

If the Blue Waves advance to the quarterfinals they would face either No. 6 Ward Melville or No. 11 Kings Park. Lindenhurst is the No. 2 seed.

The Wildcats earned a home playoff game, the first of a doubleheader at SWR High School Saturday with the boys. The Wildcats closed out the season by winning four of five. The one loss came against John Glenn, the No. 1 seed in the bracket. The Knights have a bye into the semifinals, so if the Wildcats win they will travel to Glenn Wednesday.

Shoreham did not play Islip in the regular season.
